George:
[In Mitchell's hospital room] What are you doing?

Chaplain:
Christ! You made me jump.

George:
Who are you? Move away from the bed.

Chaplain:
Mark, the hospital chaplain. They rang me. The hospital rang me at home.

George:
Why?

Chaplain:
It's a policy. They do it when a hospital employee's been admitted.

George:
It's three o'clock in the morning.

Chaplain:
They said he might... They said I should come tonight.

George:
Wha'chu going to do?

Chaplain:
I was going to say a prayer for him. Perhaps you'd like to join me?

George:
Uh, no. That's not such a good idea.

Chaplain:
If you're non-believers, that's fine. We can just sit together for a few moments of quiet contemplation.

George:
Contemplation about what?

Chaplain:
Fiery oblivion awaits all atheists?

George:
Huh! No, it's not that. I'm Jewish and uh... he's complicated.

Chaplain:
Jewish people pray. I've seen Yentl.

George:
You're very sarcastic for a vicar.

Chaplain:
Yeah, so people tell me - and I feel really bad about it - but then, you know, I forgive myself.
